Osprey and kiwi craft are rounded pontoon which takes up internal room but very stable at rest.

Senators fished out of one which was a very simple model two seat and heaps of fish storage space , the other the used up the space for comfort , which leads me to my second point , visualise the boat full of gear, cray pots , dive gear, fishing mates …every boat looks huge empty but dump gear in it and space disappears very quickly.

Underfloor fuel tanks verse tote tanks another question.

The old man has a 6 meter stabi loves dive tanks up front and the crew foward , big under floor tank with a large 4 stroke yam hanging off the back ..all food for thought.

If and I repeat if you can find a 601 Aqualite then I highly recommend you take it for a spin. 23-degree hull with reverse chines designed by Scott Robinson. I have seen a couple come up that would fit your budget. Just not as common as other pontoon brands mentioned.

I have its big brother the 645 and if you are ever up this way your welcome to come out for a spin.
